NCERT Example 7.4 - Gravitation

Question: A mass m is projected from one of two fixed spheres, masses M and 4M, toward the other. Write the escape-speed condition for the two-sphere system.

Answer: The minimum launch speed follows from **v_{esc}=sqrt(-2U_i/m)**, using both gravitational potentials.
